Time lost all meaning. Eventually, Orion opened his eyes again.
"I see."
Through the silent resonance of his bloodline, Orion had downloaded the entire context surrounding Kaelen.
He approved.
Kaelen's desire to hunt down Arch Lord Emeric wasn't just understandable; it was necessary. It reminded Orion of his own vendetta against Reynard after the murder of his sister, Clymene.
Some stains could only be washed away with blood. Some humiliations demanded a personal reckoning.
Once Kaelen kills Emeric, it will be time to bring him and his mother home, Orion decided.
If Kaelen succeeded, he would have proven himself. He would have forged himself in the fires of adversity in a way that Kronos and Pallas never had. If Caelus was the prodigy Orion admired, Kaelen was the survivor Orion respected.
"He deserves a bigger battlefield," Orion murmured, closing his eyes with a satisfied smile. "He deserves the resources to burn and the space to grow."
